Thanks all- Lainy, my sister already thinks I’m a stalker – I think that’s a good thing and Stacey (Highsmith), we are already working out such a plan to make sure we’ve got all the bases covered on making sure my sister’s in good hands and not without us.
Thanks, Lainy! The worst part is I”m in Indiana and my sister lives in Arkansas. Fortunately, my mom is newly retired and able to be a main caretaker for my sister and her two kids. My sister’s husband is a very busy doctor and that will be a big help too in deciphering thru the world of medical terms and choices. Maybe it would have been better to ask of how I can be of help when I’m so far away? It’s the worst feeling of being helpless, except for being helpless and far apart.
Thanks, Stacey! Best wishes to your family as well…it’s very tough being on this side of the fence – lots of conflicting emotions to deal with and it’s so good to have support from other family members who are probably feeling the same way and having difficulty too. It’s still pretty new to us and very raw.
My sister also had a successful resection at MD Anderson w/ recurrence almost immediately following chemo regimen. She is getting ready to start chemo and probably radiation. I’m hoping for some clinical trials somewhere for this very thing. Interested to see/read more from everyone on this subject. thanks!
Hi! I’m Kim and my just 40-yr old sister has CC. I’m happy to have this website for info and resources. My sister had a resection earlier this year and had an all clear after a summer long chemo regimen. But, in just 3 short mos and her first check up at MD Anderson, it’s back and is in both the liver and lung. Back to chemo again. It’s so frustrating to have such a rare cancer in what is an otherwise healthy mom. Here’s hoping for some much needed research on CC and support of this great foundation. Not sure I have any questions at this point except for how to be most supportive. Thanks everyone!
